NATIONAL DAM INSPECTION PROGRAMPHASE I INSPECTION REPORT
IDENTIFICATION NO: CT 00128
NAME OF DAM: Merriman Pond Dam
TOWN: Watertown
COUNTY AND STATE, Litchfield County, Connecticut
STREAM: Unnamed tributary to Smith Pond Brook
DATE OF INSPECTION, May 2, 1980
BRIEF ASSESSMENT
The Merriman Pond Dam consists of an earth embankment with a
maximum height of 16 feet, a top width that varies from 30 to 80
feet, and an overall length of 500 feet, including a 12.5 foot
long overflow spillway located approximately 150 feet from the
m right end of the dam. A paved road extends the entire length of
the dam with a steel beam and concrete bridge crossing the spill-
way discharge channel. The outlet works consist of an 8-inch low
m level outlet or blowoff located to the left of the spillway and
controlled by a downstream valve.
The dam impounds Merriman Pond which is used as the water sup-
ply for turf irrigation of an adjacent golf course.
Based on the visual inspection, the dam is judged to be in
poor condition. Features that could affect the future integrity
of the dam are continued erosion of the upstream and downstream
slopes, seepage through the embankment, the presence of trees,
stumps and brush on the downstream slope and deterioration of the
spillway wing walls. L -- A
iiD
-* . ."
The dam is classified as "Small" in size, with a "High" haz-
ard potential. A Test Flood equal to the 1/2 PMF was selected
in accordance with the Corps of Engineers' Recommended Guidelines
for Safety Inspection of Dams. The Test Flood inflow of 680 cfs
results in a routed outflow of 345 cfs that overtops the dam by
0.1 feet.
The spillway capacity with the water level at the top of the
dam is 330 cfs and is equal to 96 percent of the Test Flood routed
outflow.
It is recommended that a qualified, registered engineer be
retained to investigate the erosion of the upstream and downstream
slopes and design erosion protection where required; to investigate
the seepage through the dam; to investigate the removal of trees
from the downstream slopes; to evaluate the condition of the spill-
way wing wall, and the floor of the spillway discharge channel
under a no-flow condition; and to evaluate the condition and safety
of the existing piping with valves located downstream. In addition,
the dam should be inspected annually by a qualified, registered engi-
neer, an operations and maintenance manual should be prepared and
a formal warning system put into effect.
The owner should implement these recommendations as described
herein and in greater detail in Section 7 of the Report within one
year after receipt of this Phase I Inspection Report.

PREFACE
This report is prepared under guidance contained in theRecommended Guidelines for Safety Inspection of Dams, for Phase I
Investigations. Copies of these guidelines may be obtained from
the Office of Chief of Engineers, Washington, D.C. 20314. The
purpose of a Phase I Investigation is to identify expeditiously
those dams which may pose hazards to human life or property. The
assessment of the general condition of the dam is based upon
available data and visual inspections. Detailed investigation,
and analyses involving topographic mapping, subsurface investi-
gations, testing, and detailed computational evaluations are beyond
the scope of a Phase I Investigation; however, the investigation is
intended to identify any need for such studies.
In reviewing this report, it should be realized that the
reported condition of the dam is based on observations of field
conditions at the time of inspection along with data available to
the inspection team. In cases where the reservoir was lowered or
drained prior to inspection, such action, while improving the
stability and safety of the dam, removes the normal load on the
structure and may obscure certain conditions which might otherwise
be detectable if inspected under the normal operating environment S
of the structure.
It is important to note that the condition of a dam depends
on numerous and constantly changing internal and external conditions,
and is evolutionary in nature. It would be incorrect to assume that
the present condition of the dam will continue to represent the
v
condition of the dam at some point in the future. Only through
continued care and inspection can there be any chance that unsafe
conditions be detected.
Phase I Inspections are not intended to provide detailed
- hydrologic and hydraulic analyses. In accordance with the estab-
lished Guidelines, the Spillway Test Flood is based on the estimated
"Probable Maximum Flood" for the region (greatest reasonably possible
storm runoff), or fractions thereof. Because of the magnitude and
rarity of such a storm event, a finding that a spillway will not
pass the test flood should not be interpreted as necessarily
* posing a highly inadequate condition. The test flood provides a
measure of relative spillway capacity and serves as an aide in
determining the need for more detailed hydrologic and hydraulic
K studies, considering the size of the dam, its general condition
and the downstream damage potential.
The Phase I Investigation does not include an assessment of
the need for fences, gates, no-trespassing signs, repairs to
existing fences and railings and other items which may be needed
to minimize trespass and provide greater security for the facility
and safety of the public. An evaluation of the project for com-
pliance with OSHA rules and regulations is also excluded.

PHASE I INSPECTION REPORT
PROJECT INFORMATION
SECTION 1
1.1 General
a. Authority
Public Law 92-367, August 8, 1972, authorized the Secretary
of the Army, through the Corps of Engineers, to initiate a National
Program of Dam Inspection throughout the United States. The New
England Division of the Corps of Engineers has been assigned the
responsibility of supervising the inspection of dams within the
New England Region. Roald Haestad, Inc., has been retained by the
New England Division to inspect and report on selected dams in the
State of Connecticut. Authorization and notice to proceed were
issued to Roald Haestad, Inc., under a letter of April 14, 1980,
from William E. Hodgson, Jr., Colonel, Corps of Engineers. Contract
No. DACW33-80-C-0048 has been assigned by the Corps of Engineers for
this work.
b. Purpose of Inspection
The purposes of the program are to:
1. Perform technical inspection and evaluation of non-
federal dams to identify conditions requiring correction
in a timely manner by non-federal interest.
2. Encourage and prepare the States to quickly initiate
effective dam inspection programs for non-federal dams.
3. To update, verify and complete the National Inventory
of Dams.
1.2 Description of Project
a. Location
The Merriman Pond Dam is located off Northfield Road on
an unnamed tributary to Smith Pond Brook in Watertown, Connecticut.
The dam is shown on the Thomaston Quadrangle Map having coordinates
of latitude N 410 38.1', and longitude W 730 06.9'. The impound-
ment is called Lockwood Pond on the U.S.G.S. Map.
b. Description of Dam and Appurtenances
The Merriman Pond Dam consists of an earth embankment with
a maximum height of 16 feet and an overall length of 500 feet,
including a 12.5 foot long overflow spillway located approximately
150 feet from the right end of the dam. A paved roadway extends the
entire length of the dam. The top width varies from a minimum of
30 feet near the service bridge over the spillway discharge channel,
to a maximum of 80 feet near the abutments. The upstream and down-
stream slopes are 2 horizontal to 1 vertical. The upstream slope
is protected by stone riprap and the downstream slope is covered
with grass, brush and small trees. The spillway consists of a con-
crete overflow section with upstream wingwalls on either side.
The concrete and stone masonry training walls also serve as abut-
ments for the service bridge. Approximately 6 feet below the ser-
vice bridge is an old bridge slab indicating that the dam had been
raised in the past, see Figure 2, page B-1 in Appendix B. The
outlet works consist of an 8-inch cast iron low level outlet or
blowoff located to the left of the spillway and controlled by a
manually operated downstream gate valve. The discharge end of the
blowoff is covered with a cast iron plug so that water may be diverted
2
through a 6-inch cast iron pipe to a downstream pump house, where
it is pumped to irrigate the adjacent golf course. An additional
valve is present at the downstream end of the spillway discharge
channel, but its purpose is unknown. Another unknown valve was
reported to exist near the left upstream end of the spillway.
c. Size Classification - "Small"
According to the Corps of Engineers' Recommended Guidelines
for Safety Inspection of Dams, a dam is classified as "Small" in
size if the height is between 25 feet and 40 feet, or the dam im-
pounds between 50 Acre-Feet and 1,000 Acre-Feet. The dam has a
maximum height of 16 feet and a maximum storage capacity of 328
Acre-Feet. Therefore, the dam is classified as "Small" in size.
d. Hazard Classification - "High"
Based on the Corps of Engineers' Recommended Guidelines
for Safety Inspection of Dams, the hazard classification for the
dam is "High". A dam failure analysis indicates that two (2) houses
located downstream of the dam would be effected in the event of
a dam breach, possibly resulting in the loss of more than a few lives.
The depth of flow in the brook in the area of the houses
prior to dam breach would be 3 feet. The water level in the brook
would rise to about 12 feet in this area as a result of the dam
breach, and flood the houses to a depth of 2 - 3 feet above sill
elevation.

f. Operator George Christie, Golf Course SuperintendentCrestbrook Park Golf ClubNorthfield RoadWatertown, Connecticut 06795(203) 274-5411, ext. 317
g. Purpose of Dam
The dam impounds Merriman Pond which supplies water to
Crestbrook Park Golf Club for turf irrigation.
h. Design and Construction History
No information was available on the original design and
construction of the dam. It was reported that the dam was raised
approximately 6 feet in 1941. In 1964 repairs were made to the
* dam to stop leakage occurring in the vicinity of the spillway.
An area on the upstream slope of the dam in the vicinity of the
spillway was excavated and repaired by compacting suitable material
in shallow lifts. In addition, several holes were cut through the
floor of the spillway discharge channel and concrete vibrated into
voids under the slab. A new 5 inch thick reinforced concrete slab
was then constructed over the existing channel floor. The 1964 re-
pairs were made by National Enterprise, Landscape and Tree Service,
as recommended by Clarke and Pearson, Civil Engineers, Ansonia,
-- Connecticut.
i. Normal Operational Procedures
Merriman Pond supplies water to the Crestbrook Park Golf
Club for turf irrigation. The low level outlet or blowoff is flushed
out every spring prior to pumping operations. The intake line to
the pump house is drained in the fall. Water is drawn from the pond
as it is required for golf course turf irrigation.

ENGINEERING DATA
SECTION 2
2.1 Design Data
There was no design data available for review on either the
original design, the raising of the dam, or the 1964 repairs. A
report on the dam prepared by Buck and Buck, Engineers, Hartford,
Connecticut, for the Connecticut Water Resources Commission, was
available and reviewed.
2.2 Construction Data
There was no construction data available for review for either
the original construction or the raising of the dam in 1941. Var-
ious correspondence concerning the construction techniques used dur-
ing the 1964 repairs were available and reviewed. The repairs were
made by National Enterprises, Landscape and Tree Service, as recom-
mended by Clarke and Pearson, Civil Engineers, Ansonia, Connecticut.
2.3 Operation Data
There was no operational data available on the dam.
2.4 Evaluation of Data
a. Availability
Existing data was available from the State of Connecticut,
Department of Environmental Protection. The Town of Watertown, owner
of the dam, did not have any information concerning the dam.
b. Adequacy
The information that was available along with the visual
inspection, past performance history and the hydraulic and hydro-
logic calculations performed for this report were adequate to assess
the condition of the dam.
9
c. Validity
Field inspections and surveys revealed that the dam is sub-
stantially as indicated in the Buck and Buck report. The spillway
was measured to be 12.5 feet wide as opposed to 15.33 feet contained
in the report.

0VISUAL INSPECTION
SECTION 3
3.1 Findings
a. General
The visual inspection of the dam was conducted on May 2,
1980. At the time of inspection the water level was approximately
0.1 feet above spillway crest. The Watertown Fire Department was
testing fire fighting equipment at the dam the day of the inspec-
tion, Photo 1. The general condition of the dam at the time of
inspection was poor.
The dam consists of an earth embankment with an overflow con-
crete spillway located approximately 150 feet from the right end
of the dam.
b. Dam
The upstream slope of the earth embankment is covered
with riprap, brush and small saplings. Erosion resulting from
wave action has occurred at many locations on the slope, Photo 2.
Erosion has also occurred adjacent to the upstream left and right
spillway wing walls, Photos 3 and 4, respectively. This erosion
may be partially due to the testing of fire fighting equipment.
A paved roadway covers a portion of the crest, Photo i. The
remaining portion of the crest is grass-covered with numerous areas
worn bare by vehicular traffic.
The surface of the downstream slope is somewhat uneven, appar-
ently as a result of minor sloughing. The slope is covered with
brush, decayed stumps, saplings and grass, Photo 5, and is diffi-
cult to traverse as a result of this vegetation. The toe of the
slope to the left of the spillway channel is wet and soggy and is
covered with moisture-loving vegetation. Seepage was observed in
the area of the 8-inch cast iron blowoff near the left spillway
training wall, Photo 6. The flow was slightly rust-colored and
free of sediment at the time of inspection. Due to extensive veg-
etation, it was not possible to define the lateral extent of the- S
seepage along other portions of the toe and downstream of the dam.
Water from an adjacent pond on the golf course, Overview Photo,
page x, flows in a small brook parallel to the downstream toe and
meets the toe of the embankment approximately 100 feet to the left
of the spillway discharge channel. Some erosion of the toe of the
slope is occurring at this location.
Erosion is also occurring adjacent to the spillway training
walls, Photos 7 and 8. The water flowing in Photo 8 is the result
of the testing of fire fighting equipment and is an indication of
the cause of the erosion. An erosion gully 4 feet wide and up to
2 feet deep was also observed in the vicinity of the blowoff gate.
A 1.5 foot wide by 1 feet deep gully was also observed
just upstream of the pump house near the toe of the right embankment.
c. Appurtenant Structures
The appurtenant structures consist of an overflow spillway,
a service bridge over the spillway and the outlet works.
The spillway consists of a concrete overflow section with
steel pipes extending from the crest to support flashboards, Photo 9.
Flashboards were not in use at the time of the inspection. The up-
stream concrete wingwalls are deteriorated at the water line, with
reinforcing steel exposed in one area, Photo 4. The upper portion
of the training walls are concrete, Photo 10, with some cracks and
12
efflorescence observed. The lower portion of the training walls
are stone masonry with mortar missing from several joints, and
rust-colored staining present at the base of the right training
wall, Photo 10. An old bridge slab is present under the upper
bridge and above the spillway discharge channel, Photo 10. The
service bridge is in good condition with some minor spalling of
the concrete parapet walls.
The outlet works consist of an 8-inch cast iron low level
outlet or blowoff located to the left of the spillway and controlled
by a manually operated downstream gate valve. The outlet end is
* covered by a cast iron plug, Photo 6, so that water may be diverted
through a 6-inch cast iron pipe, Photo 11, to a downstream pump house.
A 4 - 6 inch gate valve, partially buried and above the water
line, was observed on the upstream slope to the right of the spill-
way. It was reported that the gate valve and associated piping
was some type of suction line to the pump house. At the present
time electrical conduits run through the pipe and gate valve to
some type of aeration system in the pond.
An additional gate valve was observed near the end of the
spillway discharge channel. Its use is unknown.
d. Reservoir Area
There are no indications of instability along the edges
cf the reservoir in the vicinity of the dam.
e. Downstream Channel
The downstream channel consists of a natural streambed.
The channel bottom is covered with small boulders and gravel. A
6-inch cast iron intake pipe to the pump house crosses the channel
just downstream of the spillway discharge channel, Photo 11.

3.2 Evaluation
On the basis of the visual inspection, the dam is judged to
be in poor condition. The following conditions could affect the
future integrity of the dam:
1. Continued erosion and displacement of the riprap on the
upstream slope of the dam;
2. Continued erosion on the upstream and downstream slopes
adjacent to the right and left spillway training walls could lead
to a breach of the dam;
3. Continued seepage through the earth embankment, as evi-
• denced by the rust-stained area adjacent to the blowoff and at
the base of the right spillway training wall, and the existence
of large areas of moisture-loving vegetation, could lead to in-
ternal erosion of the dam;
4. The root systems of the trees, stumps and brush growth on
the downstream slope could provide pathways for future seepage
through the dam;
5. Continued deterioration of the concrete wing walls could
affect the stability of the dam; and
6. Additional undercutting of the downstream toe of the slope
by the adjacent brook could jeopardize the stability of the down-
stream slope.

OPERATIONAL AND MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
SECTION 4
5 0 -
4.1 Operational Procedures
a. General
During the golfing season, the discharge end of the lowm 0
level outlet or blowoff is plugged and the gate valve left open
to allow water to flow to the downstream pump house. Water is
drawn as required for golf course turf irrigation.
b. Description of Any Warning System In Effect
There is no formal warning system in effect for the dam.
4.2 Maintenance Procedures
a. General
Normal maintenance procedures consist of mowing the grass
* on portions of the crest of the dam.
b. Operating Facilities
The low level outlet or blowoff line is flushed every
spring prior to pumping. The intake pipe to the pump house is
drained every fall.
4.3 Evaluation
Present operations and maintenance procedures are inadequate,
as is evident by the heavy brush growth on the downstream slope
and erosion of several areas of the dam. An operations and main-
tenance manual should be prepared for the dam and operating facil-
ities. In addition, the dam should be inspected annually by a
qualified, registered engineer. A formal warning system should
also be put into effect.
15
EVALUATION OF HYDRAULIC/HYDROLOGIC FEATURES
SECTION 5
5.1 General
The spillway at Merriman Pond Dam consists of a 12.5 foot
long concrete overflow section which discharges through a bridge
opening located within the dam. The spillway crest is 4 feet below
the top of the dam. Flashboards were previously used but have
been removed. The spillway has a capacity of 330 cfs before over-
topping the dam. The 8-inch low level outlet or blowoff has a ca-
pacity of 4 cfs.
The watershed area is 0.64 square miles of "rolling" terrain,
mostly wooded, with the only development being a Town-owned park
and golf club. Elevations range from 860 at the east side of the
* watershed to 675 at the spillway.
5.2 Design Data
No design data on the dam was available. An engineering report
on the dam by Buck and Buck, Engineers, Hartford, Connecticut, for pthe Connecticut Water Resources Commission lists the spillway ca-
pacity as 230 cfs and the design discharge as 100 cfs. See Appen-
dix B, pages B-9 and B-10.
5.3 Experience Data
There is no information available on maximum water levels or
discharges.
5.4 Test Flood Analysis
The dam is classified as "Small" in size, with a "High" hazard
potential. According to the Corps of Engineers' Recommended Guide-
lines for Safety Inspection of Dams, the Test Flood for a "Small",
"High" hazard dam is in the range of the 1/2 Probable Maximum Flood
16
(1/2 PMF) to the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF), depending on the
involved risk.
A Test Flood equal to the 1/2 PMF was selected because of the
limited downstream development, the low hydraulic height and small
storage capacity of the impoundment.
The Test Flood was calculated using a peak inflow for the PMF
of 2,125 cubic feet per second per square mile (csm), from the min-
imum 2 square mile drainage area shown on the guide curves for
"rolling" terrain supplied by the Corps of Engineers, and the 0.64
square mile watershed of Merriman Pond. The peak 1/2 PMF inflow
was calculated to be 680 cfs and the routed outflow 345 cfs.
The Test Flood was routed through the impoundment in accordance
with "Estimating Effect of Surcharge Storage on Probable Maximum
Discharges" provided by the Corps of Engineers. The impoundment
was assumed to be initially at spillway level. The routed outflow
was calculated to be about 345 cfs and overtops the dam by 0.1 feet.
The 330 cfs spillway capacity is capable of discharging 96 percent
of the Test Flood routed outflow.
5.5 Dam Failure Analysis
A dam failure analysis was made using the "Rule of Thumb"
guidance provided by the Corps of Engineers. Failure was assumed
with the water level at the top of the dam.
The dam breach would release up to 12,000 cfs into the stream
channel below the dam. The flood waters would overtop Northfield
Road and Smith Pond Brook Road by about 6 feet and Cutler Street
(U.S. Routes 6 and 202) by 2.2 feet. Two houses south of Cutler
Street would be flooded to a depth of 2 - 3 feet above sill eleva-
tion before the flood waters reached Heminway Pond. Prior to dam
17
..J
failure, the water depth in the brook near the houses would be
I i about 3 feet. The depth of flow in the brook would rise to about
12 feet as a result of the dam breach.
The failure of Merriman Pond Dam could result in the loss
of more than a few lives. Therefore, the dam is classified as
"High" hazard potential.

EVALUATION OF STRUCTURAL STABILITY
SECTION 6
-0
6.1 Visual Observations
The visual inspection did not disclose any indications of im-
mediate structural instability.
6.2 Design and Construction Data
Design and construction data were not available for review on
either the original construction or the 1941 raising. Various cor-
respondence concerning work performed in 1964 to repair leakage in
the vicinity of the spillway was available and reviewed.
6.3 Post-Construction Changes
In 1964 repairs were made to the dam to stop leakage occurring
in the vicinity of the spillway. An area on the upstream slope of
the dam was excavated and repaired by compacting suitable material
in shallow lifts. In addition, several holes were cut through the
floor of the spillway discharge channel and concrete vibrated into
the voids under the slab. A new 5-inch thick reinforced concrete
slab was then constructed over the existing channel floor.
6.4 Seismic Stability
The dam is located in Seismic Zone 1 and in accordance with the
recommended Phase I Inspection Guidelines does not warrant seismic
stability analysis.

ASSESSMENT, RECOMMENDATIONS, £ REMEDIAL MEASURES
SECTION 7
7.1 Dam Assessment
a. Condition
On the basis of the visual inspection, the dam is judged
to be in poor condition. The future integrity of the dam could be
affected by: continued erosion and displacement of riprap on the
upstream slope; continued erosion on the upstream and downstream
slopes adjacent to the spillway training walls; continued seepage
through the earth embankment; trees, stumps and extensive brush
growth on the downstream slope; continued deterioration of the con-
crete in the spillway wingwalls; additional undercutting of the down-
stream toe by the adjacent brook; and possible leakage from the blow-
off and unknown pipes which are constantly pressurized due to the
downstream location of the control valves.
An evaluation of the hydraulic and hydrologic features of
the dam indicate that the spillway is capable of passing 96 percent
of the Test Flood (1/2 PMF) routed outflow.
b. Adequacy of Information
The information available was sufficient for performing a
Phase I Inspection.
c. Urgency
The recommendations presented in Sections 7.2 and 7.3 should
be carried out within one year of receipt of this report by the owner.
7.2 Recommendations
The following recommendations should be carried out under the
direction of a qualified, registered engineer:
2020
i. Additional erosion protection on the upstream slope of the
earth embankment should be designed and constructed.
2. Erosion protection measures should be designed and construc-
ted for the upstream and downstream slopes adjacent to the spillway
training walls.
3. The seepage through the earth embankment adjacent to the
blowoff should be investigated and seepage control measures should
be designed and constructed.
4. The wet areas at and adjacent to the downstream toe of the
earth embankment should be investigated. A program for monitoring
the seepage should be established and seepage control measures des-
igned and constructed as required.
5. The trees, stumps and brush growth on the earth embankment
should be removed and the root zones backfilled with suitable material.
6. The condition of the concrete in the spillway wingwalls and
floor of the spillway discharge channel should be evaluated under
a no-flow condition and repairs made, as required.
7. The condition and safety of the existing low level outlet
or blowoff pipe and the other unknown pipes through the dam with
downstream valves should be evaluated and corrective measures
designed and constructed.
8. The piping to the right of the spillway which contains el-
ectrical conduits should be investigated to determine if they may
jeopardize the integrity of the dam.
The owner shall implement all recommendations made by the Engi-
neer based on the findings of the above investigations.
21
7.3 Remedial Measures
a. Operation and Maintenance Procedures
1. A program of annual technical inspections by a qualified,
registered engineer snould be instituted.
2. An operations and maintenance manual for the dam and
operating facilities should be prepared.
3. A formal warning system should be put into effect and
should include monitoring of the dam during heavy rains and procedures
for notifying downstream authorities in the event of an emergency.
4. The downstream slopes should be properly maintained.
7.4 Alternatives
There are no practical alternatives to the above recommendations.

Attention: Mr. Jack Browntein, President
Gentlement
We have been nf cim=that the so-called MerrImants Dam is nowowned by the Crestbrook Country Club of Watertown,
According to evidence supplied to this Commission both by itsconsultant and others, the dam is in an unsafe condition because oflarge and dangerous leaks through the dam which places the structurein an unsafe category.
Section 25-110 of the 1958 Revision of the General Statutes placesunder the jurisdiction of this Comnission all dams, "which by breakingaway or otherwise, might endanger life or property." The Commissionfinds that the failure of this dam would endanger life or property.
FINDING
Based on the report of the Commission's consultant covering theinspection of this dam the Water Resources Commiission finds the structureis in an unsafe condition. It also finds that certain repairs or .alterations are necessary to place the structure in a safe condition,
The repairs or alterations to be made should include but are notnecessarily limited to the following items:
1. Stop all leaks through the dam.2. Carry out any other repairs or alterations found necessary.

Dear Mr. Brownsteins re. Dam at Crestbrook Country Club
On July 31, I met with Mr. Dayton and some of the Club personnel atthe dam. The water level was down almost to the leak in the upstream face ofthe dam# which was partially blocked with a sandbag.
The situation with regard to the extent of repairs necessary seems tobe a whole lot less than was anticipated at the time of my first inspection.
As the matter stands now, in my opixtionp the area on the upstreamface of the dam for a distance of at least 25 feet each way from the leak should
* be enclosed by an earth cofferdam, dewateredp the rip-rap removed; all materialremoved to a depth of not less than two feet, the area immediately around theleak filled with hardpan or clay which should be tamped by a mechanical tamperto fill the cavity with the greatest possible compaction, the entire area coveredwith hardpan or clay for a depth of not less than 18" and compacted, the areawhere the rip-rap was removed covered with a blanket not less than 60 in thicknessof bank run gravel and the rip-rap replaced or renewed. Whether or not thecofferdam is removed is immaterial.
After the above work has been completed, the leaky spots in the masonryspillway will have to be opened up and pressure grouted to fill the cavity whichmust exist from the leak in the upstream face to the locations in the spillwaywhere the geysers were active when I made my first inspection in connection withthis matter.
Should you have any further questions regarding this matter, do nothesitate to call me.
Very truly yours,,CLARKE AND PEARSON

* Dear Mr. Quintos re, Dan at Cresbrook Country Club
I made an inspection of the work under progreas at the dam atthe Crestbrook Country Club yesterday afternoon and talked with Mr.William Bedard last evening.
From infor.mation supplied by Mr. George Christie and the menwho have worked on this project, which was started last week, a pocketof large stones was uncovered in the vicinity of the leak. These stoneswere removed and the excavation carried down to impervious hardpan andrefilled with material taken from the bank located on the left side ofthe entrance to the property.
Mr. Bedard was advised that the work done appeared to be satis-factory but that the entire area disturned would have to be covered withat least 6"* of coarse gravel and the area on the dam face of at leasttwo feet above and below the high water mark covered with stone to mini-mize any damage to the structure by wave action. He was also advisedthat the leaks in the spillway where the geysers were located would haveto he filled with grout under pressure. This grout should be undersufficient pressure to completely fill any further voids which may bepresent between the spillway and the area which has been repaired.
When this work is completed in a satisfactory manners a final Sinspection can ba made and approval given to the entire work of repairingthe structure.
I would like to be advised prior to the tire when the groutingis to be dono so that an inspection may be made during the progress ofthis phase of the work. It would be advisable to ca4- my office when thisis scheduled rather than uV homes

Er Re; Dam at Crestbrook Country ClubDear Mr. Buck;
Dnder the authority vested in me by Jack Brownstein, and Sherman Quinto,President and Vice President of the Crestbrook Country Club, and theprocedures set forth for work authorized by Clarke and Peerson, consul-ting engineers, I hereby give a full report of how the project was handled,completion of the work done, and continued maintenance planned for same*
In mid October, Mr. Pearson and I reviewed the dam at the Merriman Pondand agreed that damages to &aid dam was due to a poor fill area in frontof the dam, resulting in damages in the spillway within the dam*We agreed to work and procedures to be taken, and after receiving a formalgo ahead October 21st, I proceeded as follows.I hired out a crane from Mr. Sam Marianno and a backhoe, dozer, and truckfrom Innes Bros. and we excavated a circular trench around the front ofthe dam,60' long, 12' deep, and eight feet wide; We found numerous boulders,logs, and a soft fill mhich had been used to fill the front of this dam.We saw many holes obviously going directly to the face of the dam wherewater undoubtedly had found it's way to the spillway. We refilled all ofthis excavated area in six inch layers, tamping it as we refilled thishole and called the attention of this work in progress to Mr. PeersoneOn November 27th, I received his work approval and I continued to the
| next phase of work to be completed.On December 8th, I hired the Wtby. foundation Coo to make six holes in thespillway so that we might fill in the voids with concrete utilizing avibrating machine to insure proper fill in as had been advised by Mr,Pearsonand r Buck. This was correctly done after I inspected the 4" holes in depthI found under the spillway, A total of seventeen cy. was utilized to fillthis void and resurface the spillway with five inches of reinforced concrete .-..
-- The last phase included putting some gravel over our fill area in front ofthe dam and to put some rock on the edge of the pond. All this has been done
I have attatched all correspondence to this project, and the billing ofall those having been affiliated with this works I trust this will be ofassistance to all who have been interested in having this work completed.
Very truly yours

THE STOP PLANK HAS BEEN REMOVED. WATER WAS SPURTING UP THROUGHTHE OLD SPILLWAY BOTTOM AT THE VERY TOP, IMMEDIATELY DOWN STREAMFROM THE NEW SPILLWAY WHICH WAS'SIMILAR TO THE ONE WE SHOWED ONOUR PLANS. THERE WAS ALSO WATER COMING THROUGH THE SIDE OF THEOLD SPILLWAY WALLS, OBVIOUSLY THE CUT-OFF ON THE NEW SPILLWAY ISINSUFFICIENT AND THE CUT-OFF AT THE SIDES OF THE OLD SPILLWAY ISALSO INADEQUATE.

FLEISHER CALLED. THE C- OF TITLE FOR THE PROPERTY A HAMILTONAND MAIN CORP. TO THE COUNTRY CLUB. HAMILTON AND MAIN HAD EXECUTEDA':WATER AGREEMENT WITH PRINCETON DATED JANUARY 24, 1961. PRINCETONCONVEYED THIS TO BURLINGTON MILLS WHO CONVEYED IT TO GROSSMAN. THEAGREEMENT PROVIDES THAT PRINCETON, BURLINGTONp GROSSMAN.'HAVE COMPLETECONTROL OF THE WATER LEVEL IN THE POND AND ASSUMED THE MAINTENANCE OFTHE DAM. THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO RELIEVE THEMSELVES OF THIS OBLIGATIONAT ANY TIME BY WRITING TO THE COUNTRY CLUB AND SIMPLY STATING THATTHEY WANT TO. HOWEVER, ANYTHING WHICH HAS TRANSPIRED PRIOR TO THEIRSO WRITING MUST BE MADE BOOD BY THEM AS eWfeR- P-T1BENEFICIARY OF THEWATER RIGHT AGREEMENT. THEREFORE, GROSSMAN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING THE DAM AND CAN THEN, IF HE WISHES, TURN IT OVER TO THE COUNTRYCLUB. AT THE PRESENT TIME HE CLAIMS HE HAS NO CONCERN ABOUT THE DAMOR THE WATER RIGHTS AT ALL, HOWEVER THEY ARE HIS RESPONSIBILITY.
TOLD FLEISHER THAT I WOULD REPORT THIS TO WRC AND RECOMMEND THATTHEY TAKE ACTION TO FORCE GROSSMAN TO REPAIR THE DAM. SUGGESTEDTHAT HE HAVE-THE TOWN MANAGER TAKE SIMILAR ACTION. TOLD HIM THATIF WE HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE REPAIR WORK WE WOULD RECOMMENDFIRST THAT THE FILL BE PLACED UPSTREAM OF THE SPILLWAY. THISCOULD PROBABLY BE TAKEN FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE POND. IF THIS DOESNOT WORK THEN A TRENCH WILL HAVE TO BE CUT IMMEDIATELY DOWNSTREAMOF THE NEW SPILLWAY AND AN ADEQUATE CUT-OFF WALL INSTALLED. STRUC-TURES WILL ALSO HAVE TO BE INSTALLED ON .THEL. WING OF EITHER ABUT-MENT TO PROVIDE COT-OFP FOR THAT LOCATION. TOLD HIM I DID NOT THINKTHIS WOULD INVOLVE DISTURBING THE ROAD IN ANY WAY BUT IT WOULD MEANA DIFFICULT AND RATHER EXPENSIVE JOB.

HE SIADTHERE IS ALSO A FOUNTAIN OF WATER LEAKING FROM THE DAM. I ASKED HIMIF THE WATER COULD BE DRAINED FROM THE DAM FOR REPAIRS AND BROWNSTEIN-
SAID THIS WAS IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO WAY OF PUMPING THEWATER FROM THE BROOK IN ORDER TO WATER THEIR GREENS AND THERE ALSOWOULD NOT BE ENOUGH WATER LEFT IN THIS DRY SPELL TO GET ENOUGH FROMTHE BOOOK ANYWAY. THEY ARE VERY MUCH PERTURBED OVER THE WHOLE THINGBECAUSE THE JOB HAS BEEN KICKED AROUND FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. IN THEMEANTIME THEY ARE LOSING THEIR WATER AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE* HE

I CONCLUDED THAT WITH THE OPENING UPrOFTHE 2' DIAMETER HOLE IN THE EARTH IMMEDIATELY UPSTREAM OF THEEAST ABUTMENT THE INDICATIONS WERE SUFFICIENTLY STRONG OF THEDAM BEING IN A PERILOUS CONDITION TO REQUIRE IMMEDIATE ORDER FORREPAIR. CALLED WISE AND HE ISSUED THE VERBAL ORDER REQUIRINGTHEM TO REPAIR THE DAM WHICH WILL BE CONFIRMED IN WRITING TOMORROW.BROWNSTEIN THEN CONTACTED PEARSON OF CLARK AND PEARSON AS THEIRENGINEER AND FRANCIS ONEGLIA OF 0 & G CONSTRUCTION AS THEIR CON-TRACTOR.

M AS MUCH WATER AS POSSIBLE, DEWATER THE FACE OF THE SPILLWAY, RE-i U MOVE THE OVERBURDEN, DETERMINE WHAT IS WRONG AND PLACE A CLAY
BLANKET WELL TAMPED IN PLACE, OVER THE REPAIRED AREA, COVER THISWITH 12 OF GRAVEL AND THEN RIP RAP. FRANCIS IS GOING TO SUBMIT AWRITTEN PROPOSAL TO THEM FOR A TIME AND MATERIAL BASIS VONTRACTWHICH THEY WILL ACT ON AT A BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING TO BE CALLED

L7,28/64 -WB Two CONFERENCES WITH WISE OUTLINED THE REPAIR PROCEDURE WHICHMEETS WITH HIS APPROVALAND HE REVIEWED HIS ORDER WHICH WE MODI-FIED SLIGHTLY AND WHICH WILL BE ISSUED TODAY. I AM CORRECT INMY ASSUMPTION THAT THE STATE STATUTES REQUIRE THAT THE WRC TAKEACTION AGAINST THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY. IF THAT OWNER HAS A-
- GREEMENTS WHICH WOULD FORCE SOMEBODY ELSE TO MAINTAIN A STRUCTURES IT IS THE OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO HAVE THIS REPAIR WORK DONE BY
SUCH A PARTY OR TO BACK CHARGE HIM OR DO WHATEVER HE PLEASES. THESTATE IS ONLY INTERESTED IN THE PROPERTY OWNER.
